However, the wife of a neighbouring farmer had by chance taken a photograph of the balloon. Low Moor Farm’s owners, Ian Mosey (Livestock) Ltd, called in Chris Fewster, a professor of mathematics at the University of York.
但是,丹邻居的妻子当时偶然拍下了一张热气球的照片。低摩尔庄园的所有者伊恩·莫西有限公司,找来了大学数学教授克里斯·福斯特。
Professor Fewster used trigonometry to show that the balloon had been at a height of only about 100ft and had been less than 1,000ft from the pigs when it fired its burner.
福斯特教授运用数学中的三角原理证明出热气球当时的飞行高度只有100英尺(约30.5米),热气球的燃烧炉距离猪圈不到1000英尺(约304.8米)。
He was helped in his calculations by Mr Gilbank, who used his laser rangefinder – a golfer’s tool to measure the distance to the green – to work out the height of the trees.
在福斯特教授计算的过程中,丹使用激光测距仪帮助教授测量了树木的高度。激光测距仪是高尔夫球手常用作测量草坪距离的一种工具。
As a result, the insurers, who had initially offered £10,000 compensation, have now agreed a settlement of £38,782.
最终,起初只提供10万英镑赔偿的保险公司现在同意把赔偿金提高到38782英镑。
Professor Fewster said the data he obtained from the photo was vital. ‘Putting all of that together, with fairly elementary mathematics, we got to the answer,’ he said.
